Easy Eye Sound Vinilo y CD

Review: Ahead of their new album Sonido Cosmico, Hermanos Gutierrez return with a smouldering single which shows off their affinity for wistful guitar soliloquies on a short n' sweet 7". The brothers' sound is rooted in 1950s Latin American rock n roll, all quivering tremolo and languid reverb as a casing for their mesmerising melodies. 'Low Sun' captures that melancholic moment as the day shortens in evocative fashion, making this a record primed for sentimental moments aplenty whether you're playing the record for yourself or an audience of kindred chillers who appreciate Balearic vibes hailing from the Southern Hemisphere.

Review: After a prolific 2023 which saw them release two albums of fried and wide-eyed instrumentals Harmons Gutierrez return with further explorations of their atmospheric taker on 1950s Latin American sounds. There's a sense of Morricone drama and expansive space to the duo's self-described cosmic sound, where the intricate guitar work collides with space-age effects processing to create a truly escapist listening experience. Steeped in the mystique of the desert, with an undeniable romance in their hearts while heading towards the stratosphere, Alejandro and Estevan Gutierrez show their craft has the potential to explore new vistas while staying true to the formula which has served them so well thus far.

Review: The Hermanos Gutierrez return with another album-lenfgth bang - Sonido Cosmico - hearing the sonorous siblings abandon the desert for the cosmos, having established a firm arenaceous grounding on their prior record El Bueno Y El Malo. Artfully produced by Dan Auerbach, the album brims the fiery 'stones: suspenseful, analogue-treated guitar dialogues - the crux of the brothers' project - all while playing up an arid Western aesthetic, with a stargazing propensity. Lead track 'Sonido Cosmico' indeed comes with a music video that finds the brothers atop a desert mountain observatory, surrounded on all sides by cacti and UFOs, and sporting telescopes and dowsing rods when they're not playing guitar. An album of dreamy instrumental delights; the planes of Arenillas indeed are a prime location to take alien flight.
